The Beginners' Latin passage for the schools' reading competition I'm co-judging next month is the final story from book 1 of the Cambridge Latin Course, FINIS. I will need to prepare emotionally CSCP

Last year I had to teach the textual criticism of Catullus over Zoom; today the two class 'survivors', just ahead of Finals, made it into the Weston Library for close encounters with real manuscripts, and took photos of themselves with 'O'. Thank you Bodleian Libraries

I am sitting out the hottest day ever at this excellent conference: classics.cam.ac.uk/images/seminar… Cambridge might turn out to be the hottest place in the country, but a selection of the world's top Latinists make it ... hotter?

This is always so much fun - many thanks to all fellow tutors on Trinity's OxLAT Extension Programme and above all to the students, who show such fantastic curiosity and commitment (whether on long commutes or online)

Free to good homes Sackler Library: old photocopies of articles that were particularly common on undergraduate reading lists, with their typed labels and well-thumbed sugar-paper covers. In their day a much appreciated part of the Classics Lending Library (predating the Sackler)

I gave my first ever conference paper in Geneva in 2007; back here for my first conference in a foreign city since 2017 to talk about Callimachus and Rome courtesy of the lovely Damien Nelis and Joe Farrell. The Reformers still here in force too

I met John Bramble at Ewen Bowie's retirement dinner. He was really surprised and delighted that so many students were still reading his 'Structure and ambiguity in Catullus 64', and also said that the counterculture in the West Country isn't what it was.

I'm fairly sure that in an Ovid revision class yesterday, I managed to refer to the gods in the Metamorphoses as 'the divine community'

I'm hoping this will be as good as the 'Aeneas vs. Dido' debate staged among some Oxford Classicists in 2013, in which I played Juno and most of us dressed up

'The autonomy of the human body is always under threat, not least from sexual violence, but at the same time a bird or a tree may have sentience and memory.' Gail Trimble (Gail Trimble) on the appeal of Ovid’s universal epic the-tls.co.uk/classics/roman…
